This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing. Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity. One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.

我朋友在旁边一直问后面咋了。不过说回 冰刀[电影解说],结尾不算神,但收得还可以。节奏比我想的稳,没有一直拖着不走,所以最后观感很直接。后面可能会找时间再看几段。

我本来对 冰刀[电影解说] 没啥滤镜,纯路人看完。演员不算差,但剧本真的拖后腿;节奏忽快忽慢,看得人很难受。要不是看到一半了,我可能早关了。

刚看完 冰刀[电影解说],感觉还行,比我想的好。有些地方挺生活化的。另外后面越看越有味道;不是那种空喊口号的感觉,有几个镜头挺耐看的。也可能是我期待不高吧。下次有类似的还会看。
